Sayf Abdelaziz, 27, was fatally shot at his family’s business, Fire Up Smoke Shop in Pompano Beach, Florida, just after midnight on March 30, 2025. An unidentified suspect entered the store, approached the front counter and fired a handgun at Abdelaziz before fleeing on foot. Responding officers pronounced Abdelaziz dead at the scene.

Sayf’s brother, Hussein Abdelaziz, witnessed the shooting and reported the attacker did not attempt a robbery or speak before opening fire. The gunman was described as about 5 feet 8 inches tall with big eyes, wearing a black hoodie, black ski mask and black gloves. Surveillance footage has been turned over to police, the Broward Sheriff’s Office has opened a homicide investigation, and a $60,000 reward is being offered. The family says Sayf had no known enemies and was devoted to his work and family; the motive remains unclear.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Broward Crime Stoppers.
